dearest heart, love of my life, whom i ignored to write a few emails

sundogs this morning in #fairbanks #alaska

I can’t even handle the stupidity of the quote being responded to here. When I read it in my head the voice resembles that of Ted’s in Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.

Rolling Stone’s CT Jones writes about The Perfect Neighbor, nominated for Best Documentary Feature Film. The Netflix doc explores the 2023 death of Ajike Owens and the laws that continue to wreak havoc in U.S. neighborhoods. #Oscars

#expedition33 is so beautiful. its landscapes are still wowing me after months of playing. will be bummed to end it, which is rare for me. I usually lose interest before the end.

This week @jamellebouie.net had some questions for me about where the US is at now and why the term "concentration camp" might be a useful way to think about the crisis. (He interviewed me eight years ago for Slate on a similar topic. Let's hope we don't end up having the same discussion in 2034.)

Hey! Scholars! If you're using someone's work in your class, sometimes it's nice to email them and tell them, because then they might feel good about their research instead of entirely crushed by the academic humanities' ongoing descent into the grave

they’re all liars. they straight-up pretend they don’t know how fucked up everything on that show was. did anyone else watch this yet.

they all kept saying “it was a different time!” like it was 1905 and not 2005

trying to sleep after watching all 3 hours of the ANTM doc in one shot this evening

Throwback to this gem

feminist discourse is so interesting when it's between women and about who u can really trust

If you don’t read old stuff you’ll never discover that people in the olden days had the same thoughts and feelings and dreams and anxieties you do, sometimes articulated differently, sometimes exactly the same way. You are never truly alone in anything and old writings are a neon sign telling you so

A 920,000-sq-ft warehouse in south KC could detain up to 8,000 people. Port KC says that’s not what it signed up for and has now cut ties with the developer, citing misalignment and poor communication. www.kmbc.com/article/port...

well, there’s a new Mitski coming. that’s helpful

This is the 38th time that the U.S. military has unlawfully killed civilians on the orders of Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump. At least 130 people — never charged with crimes, their identities unknown to their executioners — are now dead.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

roses are red violets are not

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

ICE has grabbed so many people from their vehicles that there are abandoned cars across Minnesota. This tow truck driver returns the cars for free as a public service, and he’s been getting death threats. They hate the helpers. Which is why must keep helping.

can’t

The free-roaming turkeys of Saint Paul, Minnesota: - are enormous - don’t know where they’re going - have no plans or motivations - don’t understand roads - or anything at all, really

ICE now confirming that there is a measles outbreak at the Texas concentration camp where young Liam was held.

is January actually going to end tomorrow? this is the longest January of all time

In response to the killing of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration officers, Apple CEO Tim Cook sent a note to his staff praising Trump for “his openness to engaging on issues that matter to us all”

BREAKING: Two Republican senators, Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski, call for DHS Secretary Kristi Noem to resign.

i personally do not love that there is still seemingly no confirmation of whether or not ice conducted an operation inside a foreign consulate!

Current status of the fundraisers for those killed by ICE: Renee Good: $1,499,580 Alex Pretti: $1,289,249 Keith Porter, Jr. $302,423 Parady La: $45,848 Heber Sanchez Dominguez: $47,991 Luis Beltrán Yanez Cruz: $18,640 Victor Manuel Diaz: $2,538 Geraldo Lunas: $2,260 Luis Gustavo Núñez: $1,935

reminds you of the Catholic Church shuffling the priests around

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Minneapolis City Council President Elliott Payne continuing to be on the ground, doing the work, keeping us informed.

Seeing a bunch of normal ass midwestern moms and dads marching in -20 degrees knowing they might be tear gassed or worse really drives home what a cowardly lot of people the pundit class is

i’m very sad

Rogers testifying before Congress in support of PBS funding is perhaps one of the most well known things ever recorded on camera. Perhaps McCain feels that wasn't "political" because then she'd have to address how her asshole dad opposed it for more than 30 years

This is quite literally one of the stupidest human beings alive

vintage cinema 🤌 🔥

aurora last night in #Fairbanks

this game is so beautiful. the art is special.

i had a live fly show up in my house in the middle of Fairbanks winter and my cat hunted and maimed it and then abandoned it to die a slow and painful death 😭

On this day one year ago, #DavidLynch left us for places wonderful and strange. Rest in Peace.

Holy shit. Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.” www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

it was -30F on Wed

It's been a full month below 0F in Fairbanks. How is everyone there doing?
